...just a nose ahead of former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius's 18.54%. "Now we know that the party membership doesn't deform the will of the party's broader electorate," said party official and National Assembly deputy Bruno Le Roux. "We've become a real party grounded in its milieu." Maybe so. But that's a very different thing from a vanguard leading the workers forward into a new world. A Le Monde reporter captured the change perfectly by quoting a 45-year-old woman voter who blew up when the secretary of her party branch in Paris addressed...
...just guessing that the kids from Bristol felt a little stranded in California. But that feeling is in the movie, which is about the hero's displacement when he's thrown into a strange milieu, and his desperate need to find a sense of community in the new Oz. In Chicken Run, the outsider was a brash American rooster who crash-landed in an English hen house.

...some arenas, such as New York’s historically torpid political milieu, fusion voting has provided a much needed shot in the arm. Once-marginalized parties such as the Working Families Party, the Conservative Party, and the Independence Party have become forces in local and statewide elections. In a few important races where they cross-endorsed a mainstream candidate, votes under their aegis even proved decisive. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), for example, was nominated by both the Democratic and Working Families parties in 2000, and a significant chunk of her votes came under the latter banner...
